About this map

Lake Ray Hubbard dominates the western edge of this landscape, its shoreline defining the modern character of Rockwall during this period of suburban expansion. The map reveals an extensive network of water management features, including dozens of Soil Conservation Service dams such as Soil Conservation Service Site 3a Dam and Soil Conservation Service Site 5a Dam, which transformed the drainage of Buffalo Creek and Brushy Creek.

For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, including Parker Cemetery near Squabble Creek and the Mount Zion Cemetery. To the east, the small settlements of Fate and Mobile City are visible alongside the industrial and transportation corridor of Airport Rd and the Rockwall Municipal Airport. The transition from ranching to residential development is evidenced by the presence of Zollner Ranch in the far east, contrasting with the dense street grids appearing around the lake.
